Don't Patronize Them.

The Neenah Gazette, "A bright and well
edited newspaper up To the times, talks
sensibly in the following, which is applca-
To this place: "The larger IA towngrows,

dlers, who make livelihood OF selling
various articles at various prices

seems to be- increasing year by year, and
n goodly lot OF them has thus far visited
Neenah this season, and many more are
no doubt on their way To this prosperous
section. These fellows should not he pat

Fourteen articles out OF every fifteen that
they offer for sale, can purchased from
our home merchants, men who pay taxes
and spend their money here and assist in
building up and maintaining the city.
And then those who buy from these trav-
cling sharks often pay big price for an
inferior article. Speak To them as we
heard one of our citizens mildly but en-
phatically remark the other day: 81

the fact was apparently received with favor
by the country that lately, In order that
more cases Of northern troops visiting their
late antagonists at the south had returned

had spoken in the warmest terms OF the
kind and hospitable treatment they received

thereupon his oral assent was given TO the
proposed action. The matter was dismissed
from his mind until the mmen thereupon
within the last day or two brought It to his

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC IN swift
sERLAND.

The people of Switzerland have re-
Gently decided by a very emphatic
majority to try an experiment relative
to the liquor traffic that will be watched
with great interest in every section of
civilization. The plan is one hat has
often had prominent suggestion in this
country, and a good many people re-
gard it as a practical method of de-
creasing the exteiltof intemperance and
the evils resulting from it. The deci-
sion of the Swiss people is that hence
forth the general government shall
have the sole right to manufacture and
sell spirituous liquors, and the idea is
to not only improve the quality of the
liquors sold and consumed but to limit
the quantity as well. About 375, 900
votes were cast at the election at which
this policy was decided upon, and
Csc, 900 of them were cast n favor of it.
The theory upon which Switzerland's
new liquor policy is based is that the
deterioration in the quality increases the
consumption, and that perfection of
quality will reduce liquor drinking and
It's evil effects to the minimum. There
is also recognition of the principle that
the consumption of alcoholic drink is
not in itself a crime. but that the in
dividual offsnds against the community
only by immoderate consumption with
its consequent results. 1t is a policy
of restriction rather than of prohibition
and as such will commend itself at least
to the judgment of those who are
genuinely the friends Of temperance
without faith in the efficacy of prohibi-
tion.

TIE REBEL FLAGS.
The President Rescinds the Order for
Their Return--An Explanation.

AAS
WASHINGTON, June 16. The following let.
ter was sent to The secretary Of war by the
president to-day in regard to the disposition
Of flags captured during the late war:
II have to-day considered with more care
than when the subject was orally presented
me, the action OF your department directing
letters TO be addressed TO the governors Of all
states Offering to return, If desired, TO loyal
states, the union flags captured during the
war or the rebellion by the confederate forces
and afterward recovered by government
troops; and TO the confederate states the flags
captured by tie union forces, all Of which for
many years have been packed in boxes aud
stored in the cellar aud attic of the war de-
p%artment. ! am OF the opinion that the re-
turn OF the Tags In the manner thus contem-
plated is not authorized by existing law, nor
justified AS an executive act. | request, there
fore that No further steps be taken In the mat
ter except TO examine and inventory these
flags and adopt proper measures fer their
preservation. Any direction "a to the final
disposition Of them should originate with
congress. Yours truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND"
STATEMENT OF THB PRESIDENTS ACTION.
The following statement with regard to the
presidents action concerning the proposed
return of battle flags was made at the white
house to a representative OF the Associated
Press: "When the question was proposed TO
the president by the adjutant-general an Inn
portant feature suggested was the return 10
the loysl states Of the flags which had been
captured by the confederates and retaken by
our army at the time OF the collapse Of the
rebellion. They, with such confederate flags
as had been captured from the enemy by our
troops had, Ii was represented, for a long
time laid uncared for and neglected, packed
away In boxes in the cellar OF the war de-
partnent, and had been removed 10 the attic
as a better place for safe keeping. The dis
position OF the fags, which seemed to be an
swering no good purpose where they
were, was the main points, and the
consideration was presented TO the presi
dent that some flags having been returned 10
the loyal states upon their request In indi
vidusl cases, and the rest is desired, they
might as we'll all be returned together. The
return OF the confederate flags which were
with the others in the department was
suggested, but there was not the slightest

The soundness Of Secretary Bayard's
position on the immigration question
cannot be questioned. Nearly all the
immigrants arriving are fairly well-to-
do, and will make good citizens. They
come of their own free will and pay
their passage. But this country must
not be made the dumping-ground OF
European cranks, convicts and anarch-
lists. That is Secretary Bayard's posi-
ton, and it is right.

steam generated thereby upon the sta

is hardly within the range of p~ossiDil-

There Is a peculiarly which Vienna
shares in common with all Austrian
towns. AT ten o'clock the
streets are deserted. Scarcely will
you meet one solitary soul. A law au-
thorizes the potiere or concierge to levy
"a tax of 10 kreutzers, called the sper-
geld, on any person leaving or enter
The house after that hour. Thus the
.pergeld obliges you, when you are in
vited TO a party, to pay 10 kreutzors on
leaving your own apartment, 10 more
COR yourself and your servant on enter
ing your hosts house, the same when
you leave it, and the same on ~re-enter-
no your own. This spergeld gives
rise to some curious fashions. Thus
the theater and opera begin early, and
the performance is timed to end at
9:45. If it lasts longer nearly the
whole au iienee rises and hasten away
in time to save the spergeld. Cafes are
emptied Mt that hour and the trains are
crowded as the last moment of grace
arrives, and even the rubbers of whist
at the clubs are interrupted. 1t grows
into such a force of habit, and is such
an accepted fact, that, except under
exceptional circumstances, you do not
think Of mourning the debt.

William A. Wheeler was elected vice
president by the electoral commission
OF 1877. No other vice president ex-
cept Hannibal Hamlin is alive. Since
the outbreak of the war we have had
Breckenridge, Hamlin, Johnson, Col
fax, Wilson, Wheeler, Arthur, and
Hendricks. During that time there
have been interregnums when Foster
Wsde, Ferry, Bayard, Davis, Edmunds,
and Sherman, of the senate, might
have been president had the chief ex'
ecutive failed in his Office. At pres
ent, and under the new statute, Secre-
tary Bayard is first in the line of presi
dental succession.

AMONG THE GAMBLERS.
Great Excitement Among the Wheat
Dickerers Of the Western Marts.
AT CHICAGO.

AT CHICAGO.
Although excitement was intense In The pit
when the crisis came, It mad a different aspect
from that which characterized the breaks I'm
previous corners. Heretofore everybody
would crowd toward the middle of the pit,
seemingly thinking that nothing could be
done unless he individually occupied the very
center and all others should revolye around
nina to transact their business. To-day
throughout both sessions the pit was in good
free working condition, there being plenty OF
room to move about, and traders could enter
their trades on their cards without iostling
and pushing. For some time this could not
be cx planned, until it was shown that the
changes in the market could be known in any
part of the pit by simply watching the .ndi-
Gators on the gallery, thus relieving actual
traders from the presence Of the excited
crowds, who simply wanted to follow the
course of the tide.
When Lyman j. Sage, vice president Of the
First National bank, WIS asked as to the pos
sible effect OF the break in wheat upon the
banks Of the city, he remarked that IL would
not have any serious effect because tn. loans

INTO THE LEAGUE.
Indianapolis Secures an Option in the
Purchase of the st. Louis Club.
1t Will Probably Be Transferred Entire to This
City-Meeting Tonight to Make Ar
rangements for the Purchase.

The actual existence of an Indianapolis team
OF ball tossers knocking home runs in an inning
nd Waiting off next fall with the League
championship seems only thing which a few
days will bring. All the points and reasons,
why and wherefore, will be made known at
meeting of citizens at the Denison House night.
After persistent but fruitless endeavor to Sc
cure the admission of an Indianapolis club as a
ninth member Of the League Mr. George W.
Burnham. representing a party of business men,
was promised that this city should have pre-
ferred consideration in case any of the clubs
should relinquish their franchises. After great
deal Of negotiating he has now secured an option
on the franchise Of the ST. Louis Maroons, on
which Mr.. McChesney, of that city,
holds mortgage for money advanced
to the directors. On Sunday McChesney
wrote to Mr.. A. j. Treat that he had matters in
shape for the transfer of the St. Louis club, and
requested that a representative of the lndaEap-
oils men should be sent to confer with him. He
was informed by telegraph that the Indianapolis
men meant business and did not care to send a
representative if he was not prepared to make
conclusive proposition. The following telegram
was received yesterday morning
ST. LOWS Jan. II.
Everything in line. Am ready to make = deal.
Cannot name price now Meet me at Lindell Hotel
night at clock and prepared to act for In
danapolis. Nc CHEsNEY.
This dispatch was received too late to comply
with the request. IT was learned, however. that
MIR. j. L. Brush was in ST. Louis and tele-
gram of one hundred and twenty five words was
sent to him, giving him the details of the condi-
tions and deleeating him to make the ne
gotiations A telegram from him after his con-
snltation with McChesney was received last
night, which was to the effect that he would be
ready to make favorable report tonight,
when he will give all the conditions and stipula-
tons for the purchasing Of the franchise.
1t is understood that the negotiations con-
template the transfer Of the entire club, as now
constituted, to this city but if the arrangement
is consumated changes will doubtless be made
with view to strengthening the club. There
are now. however. three or four exceptionally
good players among the number
